The Board of Trustees of Lake Superior State University convened on Friday, May 5, 2023 to begin the search for Lake State’s next president. This webpage will include the presidential prospectus, search updates, search timeline, search committee members, a constituent survey for LSSU stakeholders to fill out, and related information for this important undertaking.
In mid-July, the Board of Trustees chose Storbeck Search, a leading executive search firm in the education sector for decades, to facilitate the presidential search, after interviewing representatives from select firms that had completed a Request for Proposal. Storbeck Search Managing Director Julie Tea and Senior Associate Brian Bustin are assisting Lake State throughout the search process, from soliciting input from LSSU constituents and holding related listening sessions to recruiting, evaluating, and interviewing candidates, and more.
On May 9, 2023, Board 1st Vice Chair and Presidential Search Committee Chair Cynthia Williams sent an email to the LSSU community to officially launch the search for LSSU’s next permanent president. It’s excerpted below. To read the entire email, click on the “Update 1” blue box.
The deadline to complete the electronic constituent survey is Friday, Sept. 15 @ noon. Responses are anonymous and will be collated by Storbeck Search.
